I'd be very interested in a poll measuring the amount of people feeling that what prohibits them from buying this camera is a VIEWFINDER.God damn it. Olympus is too afraid of cannibalizing their own EM5 sales to make this a complete camera and thereby perfect for their actual intended market.

I kinda feel like the "awards" are losing their meaning. Silver award? Sure its a capable camera but it seems to me that the awards should only be awarded when the cameras actually achieve something unique, or outstanding.

Peter Evans: I'm interested in this camera only as, well, a matter of interest. As someone who earns his living from photography and, as a career-long Nikon owner, I've already bought heavily into one system and so have no intention of taking up another.

What I would like to voice here, as several other already have, is my disappointment in the 'red-top journalism' English used by DPReview in this announcement. "Put a dent in your pocket" and "the amount you'll have to scrape together" are phrases we shouldn't be seeing on a respected site such as this. It's sufficient merely to state what the new price is expected to be and leave it at that.

Finally, and just my 2 centimes on the camera system itself, from what I've seen so far, it looks pretty good to me - ideal for those photographers who hanker after a Leica system but can ill afford the Leica prices.

If you don't want opinions regarding the pricing of certain cameras why go to a website THAT REVIEWS CAMERAS???
